The CIA has nothing better to do than spy on their secret agents' romantic prospects.******

Not only that, but Hardy and Pine seem to be the only two agents not working directly with each other who talk. At all.*******

If This Means War is successful, director McG owes Antonio Prohias and Doug Liman some serious cash, or, at least, a personalized Thank You card.********

Chelsea Handler can't not be dreadful in anything she does.*********

The clips themselves range from mildly entertaining to progressively grating, as though nobody involved knew when to call cut or make the edit to end the scene. If you've liked the majority of SNL sketches for the past 20 years, you'll probably love This Means War. That said, the bits shown here look to make a somewhat more entertaining movie than the earlier trailer. Take a gander and make up your own minds. You can certainly find worse ways to spend 540 seconds:

* Though, who doesn't look good grooving to "This Is How We Do It?"

** I would have thought the opposite on both.

*** YOU AREN'T SUPPOSED TO SHOOT FIRST WHEN YOU'RE THAT CLOSE.

**** Instant Karma, it's gonna get ya.

***** This isn't necessarily a bad thing.

****** Which is actually totally believable and probably explains why they, and other agencies, dropped the ball on 9/11.

******* See above.

******** On further inspection, Simon Kinberg had a hand in the screenplays for both Mr. and Mrs. Smith and This Means War. So, really, McG and Kinberg owe the Prohias estate a check and an apology.^

********* Maybe we should just give her a lifetime mulligan and move on to less depressing targets to shame and ridicule?
